Football Ruling Changed To Allow
Last Year Students To Make Team
While the local school committee
for Brevard high school did not meet
until Wednesday evening (after
press time for The Times) it is
presumed from a statement by Pro
fessor J. B Jones, principal, made
on Wednesday afternoon, that a ne v
ruling is now in effect that will al
low boys who passed three subjects
la3t year to play on the team.
However, no boy who does not
take four subjects this year will be
eligible for play, and neither will be
allowed to play on the team in 1934.
Boys who have graduated, or who,
for any reason are net attending
school this vea<- will not be allowed
on the field while practice is being
carried on, is another new ruling
that is row in effect, judging from
the statement made by Professor
Juues on Wednesday.
Games will not be played this
year on school days, the new ruling
will say, due to the fact that a large
per cent of the students are in the
habit of cutting classes on days that
games arc to be played away from
home, and sometimes at home, which
causes a hold-up in regular clast
work on the following Monday, pro
fessor Jones said.

DUNCAN"RAISES” FINE
APPLES ON HIS FARM I
M. G. Duncan, of Rosman, who
carried off the laurels last year
with his big apples, is running a
close second this year, his prize Wolf
River apples this season measuring
thirteen and one-half inches by four
teen and one-half and weighing
seventeen ounces.
Mr. Duncan raises some nice ap
ples at his home, and invariably
i brings some of the choicest to The

TOWN TAX RATE SET I
AT $1.70 BY BOARD
Reduction In Valuation Is Big
Factor In Causing In
crease for 1933
_
Tax rate for the town of Brevard
was set by the board in their meet
ing Wednesday night of last week
at $1.70 on the hundred dollar val
uation, with 50 cents »f the amount,
for general expense and $1.20 for
debt service
It was pointed out by the board
members who were in favor of the
increased levy for 1933, that cutting
I real property valuation in half had
materially lessened the amount of
assessed valuation, and further that
past due bonds and maturities had
also increased during the past year, j
'this rate being the minimum that
| could be levied for.
Rate for 1932 was $1.27 on the
| hundred dollar valuation, with 29
cents general fund and 98 cents
for debt service. While this rate is
higher on the hundred dollar valua
tion it is pointed out that the tax
payer owning real property will in
reality pay a less amount for 1938
than in 1932 by reason of the de
creased va'uation,
A person owning real estate in
1932 on the tax books for $1000,
paid $12.70 in taxes—under the re
duction in value of fifty per cent
and the increased rate the same tax
payer will pay only $8.50, inasmuch
as his real property will be on the
books for 1933 at $600 instead of;
$1000. Personal property owners will,'
however, pay an increased sum. j

WOMEN’S CLUB HAS
DONE MUCH WORK
■ ■ ■ ^_
Ha* Been Active In Commun
ity Affair* During die
Summer Month*
Committee reports given at the
meeting of the Women’s Civic club
held Monday afternoon showed ma
jor projects sponsored by this club
this summer to have been successful
and profitable events.
Report given by Mr?. Coleman
Galloway, chairman of the quilt show
showed this event was popular
with the tourists and home people
at the same time adding somewhat to
the club’s treasury through the
silver offering token.
Another project of the club spon
sored by the civic club was Hospital
Day, the report given by Miss Flor
ence Kern showing thst quantities of
towels and other needed articles at
the local hospital were donated on
that day, and that the results of tag
day observed at that time netted
$23.40 for benefit of the hospital.
The most outstanding feature of
the year sponsored by this club is
the annual flower show, which re
port presented by the chairman, Mrs,
John Maxwell, revealed that some
thing over $45 was the amount re
ceived through the silver offering
taken at thi sevent, and that the
show was in all respects a decided
success and generally pronounced sur
passing other previous flower shows
sponsored by the civic club.
Miss Katherine Griffin’s report oi
the Woman’s Exchange, another
major summer project of the club,
gave evidence of the success of this
enterprise, both to the community
and as an important service to the
tourists. The exchange has proved
self-supporting, and at the same
time is a valuable community service,
the report showed.
Following the flower show report,
the program of the afternoon con
sisted of a discussion of the point*
considered by the flower <-how judge,
given by Miss Alma Trowbridge,
who has accompanied the judge the
past four years while he was judg
ing the exhibits. Among the various
points brought out in tne discussion
as considered by the judge included:
artistic arrangement, proper Ungtn
of container harmonizing in
eolorwith flowers, freshness or ipiat
ity of flowers, vs ifty—whether
the flower is rare or less diffltult to
raise, and unnecessary decorations on
basket or container. The following
schedule of points for judging dah
lias was also pointed out: Quality
30 points, size 30, color 25, stem
15. Following the main discussion a
round table discussion by other mem
bers present gave valuable informa
tion to be applied in future flower
shows.
